China: Holiday Thoughts on Misunderstanding Data

Thank you for pointing out my discrimination for those low level school. My opinion is that those fen qing are from every school around this country, no matter how good or bad it is. But there is also something pretty interesting. When you take a look at Xiaonei.com, a chinese version facebook, you can always find: 1. Things most shared are those about ultranationalism 2. This kind of stuff are mostly writen by guys from those unknown schools. Why? Can we take this as a sample?
Also, I guess the major of student matters a lot. A physical student may have far more possibility to be a fen qing than a law student. Because some majors demand Introspection on one's view of his or her home nation.
But all of this are just details, the main question: Will Ultranationalism become main stream? I'm a pessimist and my answer is yes. This is a long trend and its hard to stop it. The reason is what we call 'the wolf's milk', in other words, the education of ultrenationalism. It's just like a monster, which you can only produce it but not terminate it. Example: When leaders try to fix the relationship between china and japan, fen qing fire on leaders. Even the central controlled media system doesnt work well on deal with the anger.
And yes, data here is often without persuasiveness. Just look at what happens nowadays: More than half of beijing people support the traffic control plan, according to the survey. it's just hilarious.
Actually the main reason i went to Modern Sky Fest yesterday is that i want to watch live performance of He Yong, that legendary chinese rock artist. And i think in fact the Modern Sky Fest is not as good as that Midi Fest, for the second one is more pure and hardcore.
